6 years old?! how can you use a 6 year old sim in there?! the iPhone 5 uses a nano sim now so i don't know how you have a SIM card in there..
I've had decent battery life with my 5. I didn't screen cap (I will just so ya don't think I'm BS'n) but I was at 4 hrs 17min usage and about 18.5hrs standby with the battery at 71% this morning.
Overall its no worse than my iPhone 4 (never had a 4S) so far. I don't know if it helps but I didn't restore from backup as some do, but started as a new phone (used to jailbreak what can I say). No issues so far.

I am wondering if my battery life is good. i just checked usage and it reads:
Time Since last charge
Usage: 4 hours, 23 Mintues
Standby: 12 Hours, 5 minutes
I am currently at 30% battery life....
I did a lot of data on LTE and some WIFI...alot of twitter and face book and alot of messages...some web broswint and 3 calls no longer then 1 minute each.... so is this good?

I just beat my previous calibration by ALOT with an extra 4hrs of standby. I LOVE this battery. all the same but only 1 game this time and maybe for 10mins, pandora for 30mins. this time the phone died with about 10hrs and 25mins of usage. I just didnt get a screen shot of it.

getting better and better every time. this was with 12% left and i was ready for bed. i would guess at the least 11hrs or more of usage by the time it would have died.
Here is mine with my batter at 1% and about to die. I have everything on (auto brightness, wifi, Bluetooth, location, and LTE) and it ended in about 6 hours and 45 minutes. I was mostly home where I don't have LTE so I am on 4G. Not bad I guess but I want it at least close to 8-10 hours with everything on. Maybe the next iPhone.

One more thing....
I was going to mention:
I have LTE turned on even though my carrier does not yet have LTE in this area - maybe later this month or early December I'm told.

HOWWWW?! I've noticed people with sprint screencaps have better battery life.
Thought my battery life wasn't too shabby until I saw yours, your usage figure is far better. Signal strength at work is crap to non existent, I'm sure this doesn't help.

About a month ago, my phone would lose battery life like crazy. I figured out that something kept running as usage times were way higher than normal. I closed all apps but that didn't change anything. Eventually it went away, but it just started happening again after I restarted my phone yesterday. It went from 20% to 12% in 45 minutes of standby. No idea why it's doing this. Help?
Does anyone know an app for the iPhone 5 which would monitor battery/activity?
I downloaded a few free apps, but they are all showing over 400 hours of standby time which doesn't make sense to me. I would like an app which would tell me my battery usage stats from the last charge (or preferably from when it is unplugged from the charger) so I can see where my battery is being used and monitor it.

I wouldn't fret about those numbers at all. These guys likely have a significantly low usage patterns i.e. they barely touch their phones. A good example is playing music for hours without turning on the screen. Or picking up 1 or 2 calls and sending 1 or 2 messages. It could also be that they plugged in mid-usage.
A normal usage pattern will NEVER get you 13-20hrs of usage unless you turn off all radios and put brightness at the lowest point.
A normal usage (radios and screen on) gets you roughly 5-8 hrs usage max and double that figure for standby.
Not too shabby..
but to be honest my numbers are GREATLY varied depending on what i do. The attached is using my IP5 for bit of web surfing and a lot of Air Video streaming to my Apple TV (which will probably account for a lot of usage time).
The other day i was FB/Twitter/Angry Birds Star Wars and blitzed my battery within 3 hours. It really is hit and miss, 90% of these results are a load of bollox if you ask me

Sometimes my usage is like that...I just take it as normal. But I am always on LTE and actually "use" my phone
